BY PAMELA ELLGEN he lights of Portland Fashion Week have faded. Pop-up shops folded their wares into trunks. After parties died Tdown. Models went home to eat a sandwich. And designers put away their 2014 collections. Now what? Is Portland on the fast track to becoming the next fashion mecca behind Los Angeles and New York? Some think so. The city boasts more Project Runway winners than either of those cities, four as of the 2013 season. Beyond the realm of reality television, the city incu- bates dozens more fashion designers who go on to earn national and international acclaim and, more importantly, support themselves doing what they’re really good at. However, the city often loses its design tal- ent to bigger markets. Some stay, of course. Seth Aaron and Michelle Lesniak, both Project Runway winners, remain fi rmly planted. Stephanie D. Couture has been successfully designing vintage-inspired bridal gowns and other ready-to-wear pieces in Portland since 2008. Adam Arnold set up shop in 2002 in Southeast and has been designing and produc- ing his own clothing since then. And family- owned Pendleton Woolen Mills continues to age “like a fi ne wine,” says Refi nery29, the largest independent fashion and style website in the US. However, Pendleton is one of the only fash- ion houses in the city offering living wage jobs. And that’s what it all comes down to, says Tito Chowdhury, original owner of Port- land Fashion Week, now FashioNXT.

  • Cambridge Handbook of Experimental Political Science
    Cambridge Handbook of Experimental Political Science Laboratory experiments, survey experiments, and field experiments occupy a central and grow- ing place in the discipline of political science. The Cambridge Handbook of Experimental Political Science is the first text to provide a comprehensive overview of how experimental research is transforming the field. Some chapters explain and define core concepts in experimental design and analysis. Other chapters provide an intellectual history of the experimental movement. Throughout the book, leading scholars review groundbreaking research and explain, in per- sonal terms, the growing influence of experimental political science. The Cambridge Handbook of Experimental Political Science provides a collection of insights that can be found nowhere else. Its topics are of interest not just to researchers who are conducting experiments today, but also to researchers who believe that experiments can help them make new and important discoveries in political science and beyond. James N. Druckman is Payson S. Wild Professor of Political Science at Northwestern Univer- sity. He has published articles in journals such as the American Political Science Review, American Journal of Political Science, and Journal of Politics. He is currently the editor of Public Opinion Quarterly. Professor Druckman’s research focuses on political preference formation and com- munication, and his recent work examines how citizens make political, economic, and social decisions in various contexts. Donald P. Green is A. Whitney Griswold Professor of Political Science at Yale University. He is the author of four books and several dozen articles on a wide array of topics, including partisanship, campaign finance, voting, and prejudice. Since 1998, his work has focused on the design, implementation, and analysis of field experiments.
